Global change in four semi-arid transnational river basins: Analysis of institutional water sharing preparedness

Estimating river suspended sediment yield using MLP neural network in arid and semi-arid basins Case study: Bar River, Neyshaboor, Iran

Abstract Erosion and sedimentation are the most complicated problems in hydrodynamic which are very important in water-related projects of arid and semi-arid basins. For this reason, the presence of suitable methods for good estimation of suspended sediment load of rivers is very valuable. Solving hydrodynamic equations related to these phenomenons and access to a mathematical-conceptual mode...

Assessing the Quality Change of Some Parameters of Karun River Water at a Four -Year Interval

Surface water resources, especially rivers, are at risk more than other sources for the reason of many uses. This study aims to examine some quality parameters of Karun river water in the Gotovand spatial range to Ahwaz during the years of 2010-2013.The data investigated in this study were obtained from the annual mean biochemical parameters measurements at nine sampling stations at the Water A...

Comparing impacts of climate change on streamflow in four large African river basins

This study aims to compare impacts of climate change on streamflow in four large representative African river basins: the Niger, the Upper Blue Nile, the Oubangui and the Limpopo. We set up the eco-hydrological model SWIM (Soil and Water Integrated Model) for all four basins individually. The validation of the models for four basins shows results from adequate to very good, depending on the qua...

Water quality modelling for small river basins

Water quality modelling in small rivers is often considered unworthy from a practical and economic viewpoint. This paper shows instead that a simple model structure can be set up to describe the stationary water quality in small river basins in terms of carbon and nitrogen compounds, when the use of complex models is unfeasible. In short rivers point and nonpoint sources play a key role in shap...
